The Socialist Movement of Ghana (SMG) has reaffirmed its commitment to building global alliances for justice and equality at its 2nd National Delegates Congress, held at the Amilcar Cabral School in Agyanoa, Aburi, on September 20, 2025.
The congress, on the theme “Imperialism in Crisis: Pan-African Solidarity and Socialist Transformation,” attracted labour leaders, diplomats, and socialist organisers, who all stressed the need for stronger cooperation among nations resisting domination.
In a solidarity message, the Embassy of Iran in Ghana described imperialism as a moral crisis that had weaponised sanctions, finance, and war to deprive ordinary people of their basic rights. “We see wars waged under the pretext of ‘democracy’ or ‘security,’ while in truth they seek only to secure resources,” it stated, urging African, Asian, and Latin American countries to reclaim their destinies and shape fairer systems.
The embassy pledged Iran’s support to Ghana and Africa, insisting that “the future will belong not to those who dominate, but to those who unite.”
The Trade Union Congress (Ghana) also underlined the labour movement’s historic role in anti-colonial and pro-democracy struggles. Its Secretary-General, Joshua Ansah, said the crisis of imperialism created space for resistance, but warned that Africa would remain a pawn without effective organisation. “This congress should serve as a platform for collective action, to resist exploitation, and defend our sovereignty,” he urged.
SMG’s Secretary-General, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, denounced Ghana’s neoliberal path to development and called for a return to the socialist and Pan-African vision of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. He said the Movement stood firmly with the people of Palestine and backed revolutionary uprisings in the Sahel as part of a wider struggle against injustice.
Delegates agreed that the congress was not just a commemoration but a call to action—linking African liberation efforts to global struggles for a multipolar and just world order.
